    Explanation: What we were generally recognize as the physical form of a book in the modern day is formally called a codex - an invention of the 1st century AD Roman Empire that made reading and book storage much more efficient. Instead of a single sheet of paper that needed to be unraveled, smaller sheets were bound to a spine and protected with covers, progressing through the writing by turning the pages.

    I once played a Fighter who was a pacifist. Not a “I attack nonlethally” pacifist, a full-on, specialized-in-weapons-he-refused-to-use pacifist.

    His only kill was a Roving Mauler. He made the mistake of trying to grapple with it to restrain it from hurting the party, and as it tried to run away, the curious rolling gait of the Mauler caused it to twist its own head off in his arms, leaving the legs cartwheeling across the room while he cradled the Mauler’s head and the attached collar.

    RIP Maxwell, you were some bizarre wizard’s beloved pet. 😭
